engine idle

3.  If a tachometer is available,  adjust 

idle. Check Specifications page for 

correct idle speed.

Adjusting Engine Idle

The engine must return to idle speed 

whenever the throttle trigger is 

released. Idle speed is adjustable, and 

must be set low enough to permit the 

engine clutch to disengage the cutting 

attachment.

Idle Speed Adjustment

1.  Place the unit on the ground, then 

start the engine, and then allow it to 

idle 2-3 minutes until warm.

2.  If the attachment moves when the 

engine is at idle, reduce the idle 

speed by turning the idle adjustment 

screw counterclockwise.

WARNING!

The cutting attachment must 

NEVER move at engine idle! If 

the idle speed cannot be adjusted 

by the procedure described here, 

return the unit to your Shindaiwa 

dealer for inspection.

NOTE:

Carburetor fuel mixture adjustments 

are preset at factory and cannot be 

serviced in the field

NOTE:

Every unit is run at the factory and the carburetor is set in compliance with emission regulations. Carburetor adjustments, 

other than idle speed, must be performed by an authorized Shindaiwa dealer.

IMPORTANT!

If the engine is adjusted for operation 

above

 1,100 feet ASL, the carburetor must be re-adjusted when operating the 

engine 

below

 1,100 feet ASL, otherwise severe

 engine damage may result.

 

Remove the spark plug and pour 

about 7 cc (1/4 oz.) of engine oil into 

the cylinder through the spark plug 

hole. Slowly pull the recoil starter 2 

or 3 times so oil will evenly coat the 

interior of the engine. Reinstall the 

spark plug.

 

Before storing the unit, repair or 

replace any worn or damaged parts.

 

Remove the air cleaner element 

from the carburetor and clean it 

thoroughly with soap and water. Let 

dry and reassemble the element.

 

Store the unit in a clean, dust-free 

area.

Long Term Storage

Whenever the unit will not be used for 

30 days or longer, use the following 

procedures to prepare it for storage:

 

Clean external parts thoroughly and 

apply a light coating of oil to all metal 

surfaces.

 

Drain all the fuel from the carburetor 

and the fuel tank.

To do so:
1.  Prime the primer bulb until no more 

fuel is passing through.

2.  Start and run the engine until it 

stops running.

3.  Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the 

engine will no longer start.

  CAUTION!

Gasoline stored in the carburetor 
for extended periods can cause 
hard starting, and could also lead to 
increased service and maintenance 
costs.

IMPORTANT!

All stored fuels should be stabilized with 

a fuel stabilizer such as STA-BIL™.

NOTE:

Damage resulting from stale or 

contaminated fuel is not covered by the 

Shindaiwa warranty policy.
